[Maria-developers] Tasks for newcomer

Hello, I am student interested in GSoC project Automatic provisioning of slave ( https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-7502 ). Who would like to contribute to codebase. I will appreciate if somebody could suggest me something to work on. I found something really small for myself (https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-7780 ) and implemented it in most basic way. https://github.com/f4rnham/server/commits/MDEV-7780 Config entry for case specified in report would be fake_version=5.5.25 It will probably require test case too, and I am not sure if this feature will be actually safe, it may create some inconsistencies. I have never worked with bzr before, but if it will be required, I will look into that. Thanks for feedback, Martin Kaluznik ( martin.kaluznik@gmail.com ). I can be also found on IRC under nick Farnham

I've found a couple of replication related issues, but they're not as small as MDEV-7780 that you've done. https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-7416 https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-7130 Alternatively, pick another non-replication issue, if you'd like.

Looks quite ok :)
Config entry for case specified in report would be
fake_version=5.5.25

Right. Try to create a small test case for it. Tests are under mysql-test/ The documentation is here: https://kb.askmonty.org/en/mysql-test/ I suspect that it might be a risky feature to have. So it might be that we won't implement it after all.

No, it's not. MariaDB is now completely in git. Regards, Sergei
